Earthquake Causes Tsunami In Japan

On March 11, 2011 another devastating tragedy occurred which would change the lives of thousands of the citizens of Japan. On this day an earthquake occurred causing a tsunami to erupt. It was a horrible sight to watch.Video footage captured the tsunami as it washed away cars, homes, people and anything else that stood in its way. Narita Tim Johnson a citizen of the U.S who live in Japan says the earthquake was the worst. He remembers watching a big crack in the ground open up as cars were flung in every direction.
During the first day after the terrible quake rescue teams discovered a jaw dropping 4,400 dead bodies. Just 11 days later today the death rate has nearly doubled at a 9,000; with 12,645 still missing.

It's sad to see something like this happen to anyone. Its almost impossible to imagine what you would do if it actually happened to you.The first thing that always comes to mind is "What if it were me?". Just a few months back Haiti once stood in the shoes of Japan and they too still are recovering from the destruction the earthquake left behind. This is the perfect example to show how serious and how hard and long a recovery from such tragedies can be.
